Meet the Disc Jockey: Allison

Allison Levering (DJ Maakewi)
Station Manager, The Haskell Hour

Hi, I am Allison Levering, also known on air as DJ Maakewi. I am a sophomore at Haskell Indian Nations University, studying Media Communication. Since Fall 2024, I have been a member of the college radio team. During that time, I have learned how to run a full set and develop my personality on air.

Last summer, I worked for my tribe, the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, where I hosted my own news segment covering events in my hometown. I brought that experience to The Haskell Hour, where I now serve as station manager.

I enjoy swancore and progressive rock. Some of my favorite bands are Resilia, Hail the Sun, quannnic, and Dance Gavin Dance. One of the things I enjoy most is playing my favorite music, especially Indigenous artists and powwow cd’s, and getting to hear what students at KU are listening to!

I am looking forward to another great year with The Haskell Hour and continuing to build connections through music and media.
